The lawyer started pushing this, trying to make it so Manning could be sent to the womens prison.

I swear to god this kid is so fucked in the head, and he's getting egged on by the people who doesn't recognize his sickness for what he is. Exact same thing happened with a "transgendered" friend of mine. Did not at all get any of the support he needed, the wrong type of people pushing him into it, and he nearly killed himself in the process, while destroying every family relationship he had.

The people who push this shit are sick.

In most sports, cold-cocking an opposing player repeatedly in the face with a series of gigantic Slovakian uppercuts would get you a multi-game suspension without pay.

In hockey, it means you have to sit in the penalty box for five minutes.

FT. MEADE, Md. -- Bradley Manning, the Army private convicted of leaking hundreds of thousands of classified documents to the website WikiLeaks, was sentenced to 35 years in a military prison today.

Pfc. Manning will also be reduced in rank to private, forfeit all pay and allowances and receive a dishonorable discharge. He will serve his prison sentence at the military's detention facility at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.

Manning, 25, expressed no emotion as a military judge announced the sentence. His defense attorney, David Coombs, later called Manning a "amoral young man" who comforted the weeping members of his defense team after the sentencing.

"You get this guy and he looks to me and he says, "It's OK. It's all right. Don't worry about it. I know you did your best. It's going to be OK. I'm going to be OK. I'm going to get through this,'" he said.

Don't get me wrong TRG, I acknowledge that transgendered folks do have issues, and sometimes the best resolution is a sex change, as hard as it is for us to reconcile with (and it's very hard for me to reconcile with), but you've got a transgender mafia out there who pushes people who have gender identity issues to embrace it and go full tilt into it. Don't wait and think about it, castrate yourself now. No, don't talk with your spouse about it, be who you are.

Those people are wrong. Such decisions are permanent, life long, and irrevocable. They should only be made after much consideration, discussion with your family, and yes, counseling.

Bradley Manning is not a person who has received the help and support that he needs for this decision, and despite the things he did, I do pity him for that.
